SUICIDE 101: A Manual of Discontinuity is not a book about death. It is a document about the structure of identity—and the possibility of stepping outside it. Written in the tone of a technical manual, this text examines the self as a maintained system: a construct sustained through language, memory, and repetition. It proposes a radical hypothesis—that identity is not a fixed entity, but a recursive process that can be interrupted, degraded, or released. What follows is not guidance, therapy, or narrative. It is a set of observations and symbolic procedures presented without comfort or resolution. The work operates at the boundary between philosophy, experimental literature, and systems thinking. Readers will encounter: A redefinition of “self” as a linguistic artifact The concept of discontinuity as a structural event, not an emotional one Case studies and procedural fragments written in a clinical, archival tone A controlled dismantling of narrative identity as a conceptual exercise This is not a book for reassurance. It does not restore coherence—it examines what happens when coherence is no longer maintained. It is best understood as a theoretical manual of symbolic disengagement, presented as part of the MidPacific Soviet of Letters archive.
